More Genealogy - Grandpa's siblings

I've compiled a brief snapshot of Grandpa's family. I hate to say it, but it was really hard to do. Maybe I'm getting old, or have been away too long, but I only have a very vague memory of some of Grandpa's siblings.

Because of this there may be errors in this record. If so please correct me. And someone please tell me who Aunt Wilma married. I remember her, but for the life of me I couldn't remember her husband. When someone says his name I will probably kick myself.

Henry Edmondson born about 1868, died 12 Dec 1958, married Ida Mae Kemper around 1897

Their children were:
  1. Gertrude born July 1898, died before 1910
  2. Wilma born ca 1901
  3. Walter born 20 Jun 1902, died 10 Oct 1985, married Lucy Wharton, born 2 Nov 1901, died 6 Apr 1979.
  4. Laura born 29 Jun 1905, died 20 Mar 1915
  5. Charles Gaston born 10 Nov 1906, died 10 Sep 1979, married Leenetta Henderson, born 25 Dec 1908, died 24 Sep 1981.
  6. Ben Luke born 21 Jun 1908, died 9 Sep 1983, married Mildred Pryor, born 2 Sep 1908, died 28 Oct 2003.
  7. Alvin born 29 Dec 1911, died before 1920 (birth cert.)
  8. Herbert Randell born 29 Dec 1911 died 15 Jan 1913 (death cert.)
  9. Frances I (Eileen) born 11 Jul 1918, died 1 May 2002, married Max Shellhorn, born 1 Mar 1919, died 23 Apr 1999.
Number 7 and 8 in this list are probably the same person, but the birth certificate gave one name and the death certificate gave another. I don't ever remember hearing anything about him.

Next time, I'll do Grandma's siblings, but that's it for now.
